Part 2

The Budget Diet is a diet for your wallet…not your waistline, and sometimes your overspending requires your wallet to go on a CRASH DIET!

If you’re in need of some serious savings, consider this your weekly challenge!

#2. Once you’re used to spending your weekly allowance and not a penny more…let the crash diet begin!

#3. Starting this week, allow yourself to only spend half of your weekly allowance! Example: If your weekly allowance is $350, you’re going to have to live on $175…food, fun, gas, dry cleaner, etc. Continue the crash diet for 4 weeks!

This is a tough challenge, but it will force you to change some spending habits & save a lot of money!

You’ll have to think twice about every purchase!

The Budget Diet girl suggests having a reward to make this challenge more fun! So…take the money you saved & buy something you really want or take a weekend trip! Get the entire family involved in this challenge!

Yay – you go girl! I plan to splurge on something (not sure what yet!) with half of the first week’s savings. I think that will make it a little easier to do the challenge 🙂 Let me know how it works out for you!
